Beauty is only skin deep. 美色只是皮相。

The proverb was first found in a work by Sir Thomas Overbury, 1613: “All the carnall beauty of my wife, Is but skin deep." 我妻子所有的肉體美只是膚淺的。

I don’t think his wife was very happy with him afterward…

He should have said, “All the carnal beauty of my wife is only matched by her virtues." 我妻子所有肉體美唯她美德足夠匹配。

What should you say today?
Beauty may only be skin deep, but yours…pierced my heart.

Hahahahahahahaha!

Here are some vocabulary words dealing with makeup and beauty products. Enjoy~
